A typical abc books that looks for new words to put in it’s mix. The illustrations are amazing, colorful, and fun. They try to bandage the story together, the the title is the knife cutting things apart. The title is ABC Train. While there are trains in the picture, there are none in the story. The two don’t go together. Thank goodness for the artist. The illustrations are what will keep this book of the recycling heap.
This is your typical ‘what animal am I book”. This one uses shapes and silhouettes to give the reader a hint at what animal may be represented. Each new animal asks you to help find their coat. But you never even see coats. I think, especially for the board book age, there should be a page with coats that the kids can try to match to the animal. Otherwise, the premise is half done and wasted.
This story is every wordy. It seems to be a full on rush of words. Maybe that is to illustrate the typical hyperactivity of a chihuahua or maybe it's just the author writing as they would speak. It causes the story to lag and this reader to not care how it ends.
Broadway Baby: The Sound of Music, My Favorite Things: Based on the song by Rodgers & Hammerstein
Oscar Hammerstein II, Daniel Roode, Richard Rogers
The song My Favorite things has added illustrations to the lyrics. These are a perfect combination. The style or art, and each picture is a perfect match.
Another success. A different illustrator than My Favorite things, but still perfectly fun pictures to match the lyrics. I hope they do more songs that just ones from the Sound of Music.
A pet adoption story. It’s not bad but there are better. It tries to rhyme but some are harsh or grating. The illustrations are fun, but as mentioned before there are better.
This is the third book in this series that i have recently read. I like these books as a whole, but am not thrilled with the ebook formatting. This particular book deals with energy, creating, storing, using, etc. I like that they have added the pink and yellow lightning bolt that tells how long, how easy, how messy, and how to be safe. Not my favorite book, but full of fun ideas for kids to try on their own, or with others.
This is very well done. So well done in fact, it was hard to believe it was over. I would have kept reading. The information is given in a friendly way, terms are explained, and the infografics are perfect for what information they are trying to present.
